This is an ingot of Foundry type that I hit with a hammer. It broke into pieces. The BHN is 33 according to my LEE Tester. There has been some questions on different types of lead alloys. On the broken part, there is a shiny crystal type of formations. Makes quite a clang when dropped.

HIt a piece of monotype with a hammer and it shatters. High antimony alloys are brittle. This is a great example of that.
